*** Windows users
Create the floppy with rawrite or rawrite2
e.g. http://www.tux.org/pub/dos/rawrite/rawrite2.exe (~17ko)
1) rename the bootroot4p.img to a short name
(rawrite seems to dislike long names...)
2) launch rawrite in a box and follow the instructions
3) boot with the floppy

Note: This file travels a lot ;o), and maybe you'll get a few bytes
of garbage at the end of the file (size > 1474560). Never mind :
rawrite will write until last track (79) and abort with "Controller
has failed" but the floppy is fine anyway.

If there is a need, I can make a US keyboard version (if my
'provider/uploader' is ok :).
But if you use it, then you most probably are a Linux user (see below)
